The Gamecocks will start their season on a Thursday when they host Coastal Carolina in the home opener. The game was originally scheduled for Saturday. It is the return game of a home-and-home that saw the Gamecocks fall to the Chanticleers 30-16 last season.
A release from Jax State says the move comes at the request of Conference USA, with times and TV designation coming at a later date.
It also means that the Gamecocks will have five games during the week, with three games on Wednesday, one on Friday and one on Thursday. The rest of the midweeks are apart of the CUSA midweek slate, starting with the Oct. 4 game versus Kennesaw State. It means that three of the six home games will not be on Saturday.
The Gamecocks are starting their second FBS season with the game versus Coastal Carolina. The game will also kick off the third season under coach Rich Rodriguez.
